Profile of The Man from Earth
The mood of The Man from Earth is contemplative and sincere. The plot centers around psychological motives, benign aliens, and legends and myths. It is a drama and sci-fi movie. Stylistically, The Man from Earth is talky. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It happens in prehistorical times, in the middle ages, and in contemporary times.
Summary of The Man from Earth
At his farewell bash in a cabin in the remote woods, Professor John Oldman (David Lee Smith) makes a shocking confession to his fellow scholars: he is actually an immortal who has been living on earth for the past 14,000 years. So begins this thought-provoking sci-fi drama which follows his colleagues as they struggle to figure out whether Oldman is telling the truth or merely deranged. A long-running project of STAR TREK and TWILIGHT ZONE scribe Jerome Bixby, the film's screenplay was finally completed on his deathbed in 1998.
